Default Boost Leak Continues...

This morning's Boost Log:

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/45027/boost.jpg">

I just finsihed an oil change and Replacing the diverter Valve with a 710N. I went back over the PCV hoses, nitril lines, and double checked IM bolt torque (10 Nm), Fuel Rail torque (10 Nm), and made sure the 710n was sealed up as well.

After a warmup drive (30 min to the store and back) I logged the following data:

Boost leak persits. I'm getting a bit frustrated at this point. What other culprets could there be? I'm getting a Snub Mount this week, so while I have the Lock Carrier in service mode I'll inspect the Turbo inlet and outlet hoses as well.

Default for the fuel trims, you dont need to log it, just connect vag-com and go to block 032

and write down the two numbers. GO!<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/vag/msgs/456.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/vag/msgs/456.phtml</a</li></ul>
